    Exhaust manifold. replace or mill down

    another option is to get ahold of some high quality sand paper (something like 80 grit), and a dead flat surface. set the sand paper on the flat surface, lay the manifold on the sand paper, and sand away. you'll know all the parts are in one plane again when the entire manifold surface has a...

    60 and 62: what to look for?

    I have a 60, loud, handles like an old truck (go figure), ride is rough, guzzles gas. That being said it's alot of fun, and I do use mine as a daily driver. I think the stock cargo capacity is 900 pounds or so. If you're tall, the front seats don't go back that far, so you may be kinda...

    Speaker Wire

    I have some experience here. don't worry about size too much, worry about quality, when you crank up your volume really high, they start to sound crappy, this is distortion and can come from the speaker, the amp, or distortion. I built my own book shelf speakers, and was using radio shack...

    what causes a hole in a piston

    Don't remember off the top of my head what symptom points to what but the type of hole it is can be telling. A hole that looks like it was punched out (fractured edges) vs. a hole that looks like someone took an acytelene torch to it.

    Setting idle mixture?

    I've got an 86 fj60. It has the stock aisin carb on it. The manual is actually from the 81? model year. So I guess it's time to pick up some starting fluid and go looking for a manifold problem. Coincidentally, it has what I think is an exhaust leak (ticking sound that changes frequency with...

    Sloppy steering?

    Another thought, a friends truck did this kinda thing, check that the steering box itself is loose on its mounts, pitman arm maybe? To check for slop you need to have someone move the steering wheel while you get underneath for a look see. Otherwise the weight of the truck will make all the...

    Setting idle mixture?

    In the process of fixing my electrical problem, found a leaky fuel pump, so got a new one of those, then decided to chek my plugs/compression etc. well the plugs tell me I'm running lean, so I pull out the books and try to reset the idle mixture (only carb adjustment I know of on these things)...

    Electrical Gremlins

    Thanks for the help guys, after pulling the dash out and peeling off all the black wire loom/tape I found the problem. A bus type connector that merged a bunch of ground wires into one had corroded/melted(some). I'm assuming that the corrosion caused the melting since I went over that circuit...

    Electrical Gremlins

    Ok '86 fj60. The headlights stopped working, when I go to turn them on, ont of the relays under the dash starts buzzing, and the blower motor turns on (key is out) but I can't turn the blower up higher than the lowest setting, also the lighter doesn't work either, all these problems led me to...
